What You Can Expect From Childrens Ministry

By Marissa Velazquez


In this day and age, kids grow up in a world which is filled with a lot of pain and heartache because of what they are faced with. This comes from their friends at school or even what is going on in home. This is why childrens ministry is necessary either on a Sunday, in a school situation or something which should be incorporated in homeschool.

Parents don't spend a lot of time with their kids because of the fact that they are working long hours. These days, it is necessary to hold onto your job as long as you can, because they don't come along that easy. This is why it could be a nice idea to do some outreach with kids or teenagers, and at the same time you will be teaching them morals.

There are a lot of lesson plans where you can get great ideas from. There are also lots of resources, such as childrens bibles and activity books. You can plan an activity where children will color in something and this is a great way to remember something in the bible. You could even give them a test, but this depends on the age group.

Besides outreach, one also needs to take a look at the theory aspect. One can start with different bible stories which can be read from childrens bibles. However, one must also remember that this needs to be done in a fun way. So often, you think of Sunday school or Christian studies in a homeschool situation as boring.

A lot of people take their children to a soup children or to a children's home. This is a great start because at this age, kids have a lot of compassion and they don't judge anyone. If one starts getting into a routine with this, then kids will learn to have empathy and start to give throughout their adult lives.

You may find that your child is having a tough time in certain aspects in your life and you could incorporate certain bible stories to help with this. This could include kids who are going through a bad phase with lying or even stealing. You will find that your faith will get stronger, and it is better than sending them to a psychologist.

It is important to make each lesson fun and you can do this by keeping them busy. Think about lesson planning with some variety. This especially applies to younger kids who tend to lose focus and concentration. They will need their mind to be occupied with activities like face painting or the making of vases, which relates to the bible.

As you can see, childrens ministry takes many different forms, and this also depends on the age of the child. Teens are different from younger children because they have reached another stage in their life, which could be more difficult to handle, so you have to keep this in mind. If you think about it, there are a huge variety of ministries to get involved in.
